C. P. DEATHERAGE DIES
The Retired Lumberman Was 87 Years Old
Illness Several Months Ago Halted His Work on History if Kansas City - Had Published One Volume
Charles P. Deatherage, 87 years old, the first volume of whose history of Kansas City was published here in 1928; died yesterday at his home at 2701 Linwood Boulevard.
Mr. Deatherage had been at work on the second volume of his planned 3-volume history of Kansas City until recent months when illness forced him to forego his writing. The published volume, Volume 1, Early History, traced the development of this area from the time of Coronado and De Soto through the fledgling years of the city.
Mr. Deatherage was born near St. Charles, Missouri, and received his early education in St. Louis and Carrollton. He attended Central College in Fayette. In 1880 he married Miss Marian Fackler of Saline County, Missouri, and shortly after her death in 1884 he married her sister, Miss Lizzie M. Fackler. She died here in 1916.
Mr. Deatherage founded the Deatherage Lumber Company here in the '80s and remained as active head of the business until his retirement in 1919. Shortly after he put aside his business responsibilities he began working on his historical writing. The second volume, which remains unfinished, was to be entitled "Municipal History, 1853 to 1928". The planned third volume was to have been called "Industrial History."
Mr. Deatherage was an active member of the Central Methodist Church.
Surviving are two daughters, Mr. C. K. Kuehne, South Bend, Ind., and Mrs. O. B. Atteberry, 2704 Benton Boulevard; two sons, Charles J. Deatherage, Miami, Fla., and G. F. Deatherage, Long Beach, Calif.; a sister, Mrs. Nannie K. Floyd, 2704 Benton Boulevard, and a brother Ben S. Deatherage, Oxnard, Calif.
